Hi Jaykay - well I was in your position a few months ago - after finding my lovely Jacob were just a bit too much for me to handle - catching, rounding, up, trimming etc I was reminded by OH that I would change if things were too much for me - I don't like to give in but did eventually decide on the easy life. We don't have much land but I do love keeping sheep and thought I would test the water with the Shetlands. I purchased 6 registered ewe lambs (stop laughing) and brought them from South Edinburgh closer to their natural habitat. On arrival they zipped around the paddock, when I was feeding the goats they showed interest, pen set up, popped some feed in and in they went - we now have 4 out of 6 that will happily be picked up and carried to the shed to 'do any duties', they have no bother with being penned in as I only close them in once in a while. They are a joy for someone like me who wants sheep but would if possible like them tame-ish. Saying that I am getting a dog soon from 'Dougal' and would like him to grow up with them and help me too (maybe he can hold the heptivac bottle). And to answer the question they didn't seem very tame when I picked them up - running around the pen - it was like the choice they made when food was involved - one day I'll get a video as proof
